1 I S S U E P A P E R kaiser commission on medicaid and the uninsured September 2003 A Prescription Drug Benefit in Medicare: Implications for Medicaid and Low- Income Medicare Beneficiaries A prescription drug benefit could be added to Medicare within the next several months. The Senate and House of Representatives each approved legislation in June of 2003 that would establish outpatient prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries as part of Medicare program reform and a conference committee is now working to reconcile differences. 1 President Bush has made a number of public statements urging Congress to finalize the legislation and send it to him for his signature. Among the key differences in the House and Senate bills that still must be addressed are the treatment of Medicaid beneficiaries and the structure of lowincome subsidy programs. The way in which these issues are resolved will have major implications for Medicaid beneficiaries, other low-income individuals, and state budgets, as well as potential cost implications for the federal government. As with all other provisions in the bill, these issues will be debated in the context of congressional budget constraints that generally limit the amount of resources available for a Medicare prescription drug benefit to $400 billion over the next ten years. The major issues for low-income individuals and Medicaid in the bills are described below. I. Treatment of Medicare and Medicaid Dual Eligibles Currently, Medicaid plays a key role in filling in gaps in Medicare coverage for 6.8 million low-income Medicare beneficiaries who also are enrolled in Medicaid (these individuals often are known as dual eligibles ). For 5.8 million seniors and people with disabilities, Medicaid provides prescription drugs, long-term care services, and other health care services not provided by Medicare ( full dual eligibles). For one million other dual eligibles, Medicaid simply provides assistance with Medicare premium and cost-sharing obligations ( partial dual eligibles). Overall, full dual eligibles account for one in seven (15 percent) of Medicare beneficiaries (Figure 1). Figure 1 Medicaid Status of Medicare Beneficiaries, 2000 Full Dual Eligibles (5.8 Million) Partial Dual Eligibles (1.0 Million) 3% 15% 83% Other Medicare Beneficiaries (31.9 Million) Medicare Beneficiaries = 38.8 Million SOURCE: Medicare data are from the CMS Office of the Actuary.

2 However, due to wide variation across states in the extent to which Medicare beneficiaries are impoverished and in the degree to which they have expanded coverage for dual eligibles beyond federal minimum standards, the percent of Medicare beneficiaries who also are covered by Medicaid ranges from six percent of all Medicare beneficiaries in Idaho to close to one-third (30 percent) of all Medicare beneficiaries in Mississippi (Table 1). Since seniors and people with disabilities generally must have income well below the poverty line and minimal assets to qualify for Medicaid, dual eligibles are much poorer than other Medicare beneficiaries more than 70 percent of dual eligibles have annual incomes below $10,000 compared to 13 percent of all other Medicare beneficiaries. Dual eligibles also tend to be much sicker and to need more care than other Medicare beneficiaries dual eligibles are more than twice as likely to be in fair or poor health as other Medicare beneficiaries (52 percent versus 24 percent) and nearly a quarter of dual eligibles are in nursing homes compared to two percent of other Medicare beneficiaries. The House and Senate Medicare bills contain substantial differences in their treatment of dual eligibles the Senate bill specifically excludes dual eligibles with full Medicaid coverage from the Medicare prescription drug benefit, while the House bill includes them in coverage. 2 The Senate bill leaves Medicaid as the payor for prescription drugs for dual eligibles. If adopted, the Senate provision would represent the first time in Medicare s history that a benefit would not be provided on a universal basis to all individuals eligible for Medicare. Under the House bill, Medicare would become the primary payor of prescription drug coverage for dual eligibles and Medicaid would continue to function as a secondary payor, supplementing the Medicare prescription drug benefit for dual eligibles as needed to raise it to Medicaid standards. Historically, the prescription drug benefit in Medicaid has filled the gap in Medicare created by the lack of a prescription drug benefit by providing beneficiaries with necessary drugs with little or no co-payment, reflecting the poor health status and minimal income of Medicaid beneficiaries. In recent years, however, nearly all states have been compelled by fiscal problems and rising prescription drug costs to adopt cost containment strategies in their Medicaid Figure 2 Recent Action by States to Reduce Growth in Medicaid Prescription Drug Spending, Reduced Prior Reimbursement Authorization for Prescriptions NOTE: Data reflect the number of states adopting new strategies (or expanding their use of existing strategies) to reduce prescription drug spending growth in their fiscal year 2003 or 2004 budgets. States that had these strategies in place prior to fiscal year 2003, but did not modify them in their 2003 or 2004 budgets, are not reflected in this figure.

To varying degrees, states are increasing their use of formularies, prior authorization requirements, and co-payments (Figure 2). In some states, including Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Texas, Medicaid beneficiaries now face limits on the number of prescriptions 31 Preferred Drug List New or Higher Copays Supplemental Rebates 8 8 Limit Number of Drugs per Month Require Use of Generics 2
3 that they can fill each month. These growing restrictions on prescription drug coverage in Medicaid mean coverage for dual eligibles is at risk of deteriorating in many states. If they are left out of a Medicare prescription drug benefit, dual eligibles may find that in some cases they do not receive as much assistance with prescription drugs as those with Medicare coverage. II. Implications of Medicare Drug Coverage for States and Their Medicaid Budgets States have long maintained that it is inappropriate to rely on Medicaid to fill gaps in Medicare coverage, including the lack of prescription drug coverage. Governors and other state leaders have pressed for a prescription drug benefit in Medicare as a way to relieve states from their share of Medicaid spending on prescription drug coverage for dual eligibles. Since states pay for an average of 43 percent of the cost of financing the Medicaid program (but none of the cost of financing Medicare benefits), such a shift could provide significant fiscal relief to states. The effort to persuade the federal government to take responsibility for prescription drug coverage for Medicare beneficiaries has grown stronger in recent years in response to the state fiscal crisis and the pressure from rapidly rising prescription drug costs on Medicaid budgets. In federal fiscal year 2002, more than 40 percent of Medicaid expenditures were for dual eligibles (Figure 3). Their prescription drug expenses accounted for six percent of all Medicaid expenditures, costing the federal government $7.6 billion and states $5.8 billion. In some states, the share of Medicaid expenditures attributable to the cost of providing prescription drugs to dual eligibles is even higher, reaching 10 percent or more in Florida, Kentucky, and Mississippi (Table 2). Over the next ten years, states are expected to spend in excess of $100 billion nationwide for their share of the cost of providing prescription drug coverage to dual eligibles. Under the Senate bill, states would continue to bear full responsibility for providing prescription drug coverage to dual eligibles with full Medicaid benefits. As a result, states would experience little fiscal relief from the Senate s Medicare prescription drug benefit (although the Senate bill includes other provisions designed to provide some fiscal relief to states through alternative means). The House bill K A I S E R C O M M I S S I O N O N Medicaid and the Uninsured includes dual eligibles in the Medicare prescription drug benefit, allowing state Medicaid programs to shift some of the responsibility for prescription drug costs for dual eligibles to the federal government. However, to offset the cost to the federal government of this shift, the House bill reduces federal Medicaid payments to the states over the next several years, Figure 3 Spending on Dual Eligibles as a Share of Medicaid Spending on Benefits, FFY2002 Non-Rx Spending for Dual Eligibles ($82.7 Billion) Rx Spending for Dual Eligibles ($13.4 Billion) 36% 6% 59% Total Spending on Benefits = $232.8 Billion SOURCE: Urban Institute estimates prepared for KCMU based on an analysis of 2000 MSIS data applied to CMS-64 FY2002 data.

4 effectively recapturing some of the state fiscal relief that otherwise would be generated by the House bill. Overall, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated that the Senate bill would generate a net of $20 billion in fiscal relief for states in Medicaid, while the House bill would generate a net of $44 billion. III. Treatment of Low-income Individuals Not Enrolled in Medicaid Medicare beneficiaries with low incomes face particular challenges in securing prescription drugs. Many of them are not eligible for assistance with prescription drug costs through Medicaid, state-funded programs, or retiree health plans, yet have very limited resources with which to pay for prescription drugs out of pocket. As a result, they spend a significant share of their income on prescription drugs and often forgo needed medications. Both the Senate and House prescription drug bills include subsidy programs that provide assistance with prescription drug premium and cost-sharing obligations to a significant number of low-income Medicare beneficiaries. In general, the Senate bill extends coverage to low-income individuals at higher income levels than the House bill and has more generous asset rules. 3 (For a detailed description of the Senate and House low-income subsidy programs, see Chart 2.) However, due to its exclusion of dual eligibles from the prescription drug benefit, CBO estimates the Senate s low-income subsidy program will cover fewer people than the House. Specifically, CBO estimates that about 5 million people would enroll in the Senate s low-income subsidy program, while 2.5 million lowincome individuals not already on Medicaid would be covered under the House s lowincome subsidy program. The House bill also would extend low-income subsidies to 7 million dual eligibles (Figure 4). Figure 4 Estimated Enrollment of Medicare Beneficiaries in House v. Senate Low-Income Subsidy Program, 2013 In millions Total 9.5 Dual Eligibles 7.0 Total 5.0 Low-Income Individuals 2.5 House Low-Income Individuals 5.0 Senate SOURCE: CBO cost estimate of H.R. 1 and S. 1, July 22, All estimates are approximate. K A I S E R C O M M I S S I O N O N Medicaid and the Uninsured The Senate bill provides a significantly more extensive subsidy to the low-income individuals it covers, primarily because it pays for a share of all of an individual s drug expenses, regardless of the level of spending that they reach. In comparison, the House offers an extensive subsidy to low-income individuals until their drug expenses reach an initial limit of $2,000. If their expenses exceed $2,000, however, the House requires lowincome individuals to pay for the full cost of all of their drugs on their own until their 4
5 out-of-pocket expenses reach $3,500. Once their out-of-pocket payments reach this catastrophic level, the House bill will pay for any additional drug expenses that they incur. Figure 5 Out-of-Pocket Drug Costs for a Medicare Beneficiary Not on Medicaid with Income Below 100% of Poverty, House v. Senate Low-Income Subsidy Programs Out-of-Pocket Costs $4,000 Catastrophic Limit $3,000 House (if asset test is met) $2,000 $1,000 $0 Initial Limit ($2,000 in Total Costs) Initial Limit ($4,500 in Total Costs) $1,000 $2,000 $3,000 $4,000 $5,000 $6,000 $7,000 Total Drug Costs SOURCE: KCMU calculations. For the House bill, out-of-pocket costs for co-payments are assumed to average 5 percent of drug costs up to $2,000. NOTES: In the House bill, Medicare low-income subsidy payments count as out-of-pocket costs applied toward the catastrophic limit of $3,500. In this example, the individual reaches the $3,500 catastrophic limit when outof-pocket payments reach $3,000 because of a $500 low-income subsidy. To qualify for the low-income subsidies presented in this chart, beneficiaries also must meet an asset test. Senate (if asset test is met) K A I S E R C O M M I S S I O N O N Medicaid and the Uninsured The effect of the House s decision not to provide assistance with drug expenses above $2,000 until low-income individuals reach a catastrophic limit has significant implications for the adequacy of its low-income subsidy program. As shown in Figure 5, under the House bill, low-income individuals out-of-pocket expenses rise sharply after their drug costs reach $2,000 and continue to rise steeply until their out-of-pocket expenses reach a catastrophic limit. In comparison, the out-of-pocket expenses incurred by low-income individuals under the Senate bill increase only modestly as drug costs rise. For example, under the Senate proposal, an elderly woman living just below the poverty line with $3,000 in prescription drug costs would have to spend $150 of her own money on drugs. In comparison, her out-of-pocket costs would be some $1,100 under the House bill, or more than ten percent of her income. The Senate bill also includes more provisions than the House to make the application process for the low-income subsidy program easy for Medicare beneficiaries to navigate, as well as to coordinate the new Medicare low-income subsidy program with other Medicaid-based programs designed to help with their premium and cost-sharing obligations under Parts A and B of Medicare. IV. Conclusion In the weeks and months ahead as Congress debates the final shape of a prescription drug benefit in Medicare, a number of issues with major implications for dual eligibles, other low-income Medicare beneficiaries, and Medicaid budgets will be debated. The outcome of these debates is of critical importance to low-income Medicare beneficiaries, 5
6 particularly dual eligible individuals who typically are deeply impoverished and far more reliant than other Medicare beneficiaries on publicly-funded programs for prescription drugs and other health care services. States also have much at stake in the outcome of these debates, including potentially their ability to finance care for the more than 50 million children, parents, seniors, and people with disabilities who rely on Medicaid for health coverage. The key issues that will be debated include: Treatment of Dual Eligibles. Determining whether to include the 5.8 million full dual eligibles in the Part D prescription drug benefit or leave them reliant exclusively on Medicaid for their prescription drug coverage is a critical consideration. Depending on the fiscal fortunes and political priorities of the state in which they happen to reside, dual eligibles if excluded from the Medicare prescription drug benefit may end up with more restrictive prescription drug coverage in some instances than other Medicare beneficiaries even though their need for assistance is far greater. Treatment of States. The decision on dual eligibles will also have significant fiscal implications for states. In the absence of a fundamental shift in the role of the federal government versus states in financing prescription drug coverage for dual eligibles, many states are expected to find that they cannot sustain current rates of growth in their Medicaid programs without cutting coverage for low-income people deeply. Adequacy of Low-Income Subsidy Program. Finally, Congress must determine the size and scope of its low-income subsidy program for low-income Medicare beneficiaries not on Medicaid. Most fundamentally, it must decide how many lowincome Medicare beneficiaries it will cover; how easy it will be for beneficiaries to enroll in the subsidy program; and whether it will provide low-income individuals with a subsidy that is adequate enough to enable them to use needed prescription drugs.

The Senate asset test for is $4,000 for a single person / $6,000 for a couple. Beginning in 2009, it is set at $10,000 for a single person / $20,000 for a couple, indexed over time.
